Mt. Nephin

Music: Elizabeth Lawrence Under the gaze of Mount Nephin
I saw a hare
Open the gates to heaven
Your soul was scattered there
Under the gaze of Mount Nephin
Upon a bed of cloud
You lay down
Peace perfect peace perfect
Upon the shore of Lough Conn
I knocked the door of Enniscoe House
I took a walk with your children
We stuck out our tongues as the rain came down
Upon the shore of Lough Conn
My mother’s voice rang out
Let me lay down
Peace perfect peace perfect
Through the fields of County Mayo
I took the road
Out to the edge of my knowing
Through the green of my grandfather’s home
Through the fields of County Mayo
My tears became the mist
You’re heavenly missed
Peace perfect peace perfect
